5 and a half months and the Diaper Discussion!

Well, look at me being 5 and a half months pregnant. This is how the months work:
FIRST TRIMESTER
Month 1 = weeks 1-4
Month 2 = weeks 5-8
Month 3 = weeks 9-13
SECOND TRIMESTER
Month 4 = weeks 14-17
Month 5 = weeks 18-21
Month 6 = weeks 22-26
THIRD TRIMESTER
Month 7 = weeks 27-30
Month 8 = weeks 31-35
Month 9 = weeks 36-40

I'm 20 weeks 3 days today.  My belly is larger, but not huge. My back hurts, as does my tailbone.  I feel baby move everyday. I can still lay on my stomach, if I pull my leg up.  It's too hot to do anything all the time (increased blood volume makes me hotter and way sweatier... yuck). Spinach salad with ham, tomatoes, cucumbers, and slight amount of ranch (from Subway) is the greatest food ever, as is anything chocolate or sweet! Red meat is gross. I do not want steak, I do not want burgers, I do not want heavy foods.  Ice water is the greatest thing ever, and believe it or not, juice or Kool-aid is better.  Exercise is great, but it's sooooo hot that the motivation is not really there to get out to the gym with Kenny. But, it's okay because I decided to never be pregnant in the summer, again! Not intentionally.

So, on to the diapers part.   Call me crazy, but I have decided not to use disposable diapers.  I've already had one person laugh at me.  Just to let you know, laughing at a pregnant woman is an incredibly bad idea. Everyone knows how bad disposable diapers are for the environment.  Seriously. But cloth diapers are extremely confusing and depending on what type you decide to use, they can be really expensive (although in the long run, they are cheaper than disposables).  So, even before I was pregnant, I decided what I wanted to do.  And HERE it is.  They are called gDiapers.  They are hybrid diapers, which can either be used with cloth inserts, or flushable, biodegradable inserts.  I would totally and completely prefer to use the flushable inserts, but I know I'll get some cloth ones, too.  I'm just saying this, because I know I'll get some disposables from people, but I'd really prefer this kind (not that I'm asking).  I've changed a lot of diapers in my life already, and I'd rather have this in my house, instead of the gross disposables stinking up some room.

I haven't scanned my most recent ultrasound pictures.  Sorry. Nor have I uploaded the pictures of my gender announcement cake that I did for my sister and her BF.  We sent my parents and Kenny's parents flowers, supposed to be pink, with a note that was supposed to say "Looks like it's a girl!" (From the video, we're pretty sure it's a girl, but she was stubborn and shy, so we're going to recheck again soon).  Kenny's parents' flowers showed up red, but they got the idea.  My parents' flowers showed up the correct way, but the note said "Looks like it and #39's a girl!".  We have no idea what the "and #39" mean.  It was probably just a hilarious computer mistake. I'll have to upload the pictures when I can.
